Calculator Guide
How the Retirement Calculator works
Retirement planning has two sides: how much your savings will grow by retirement, and how much you'll need to fund your desired lifestyle. This calculator projects your nest egg from current savings and contributions, and helps you gauge whether it meets your goal.
Formula
FV = PV × (1 + r)ⁿ + PMT × [((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r]
PV is current savings, PMT is the regular contribution, r is the periodic return, and n is the number of periods until retirement. The first term grows your existing savings; the second grows your future contributions.
Worked example: $50,000 saved, $800/month, 7% for 25 years
A common rule of thumb is the '4% rule' — you can withdraw about 4% of your nest egg in the first year of retirement. So roughly $937,000 supports about $37,000 of first-year withdrawals before adjusting for inflation. Use this to check whether your projection meets your needs.
Common mistakes to avoid
Forgetting inflation — both your target and withdrawals need to rise over time.
Assuming an aggressive return right up to and through retirement.
Underestimating longevity and healthcare costs late in retirement.
Tips
Increase contributions whenever income rises; early dollars compound the longest.
Capture any employer match in full — it's an immediate, guaranteed return.

A common guide is 25× your expected annual spending (the inverse of the 4% rule). Your real number depends on lifestyle, other income like pensions, and how long your retirement lasts.
A guideline suggesting you withdraw about 4% of your nest egg in year one, then adjust for inflation, to make savings last roughly 30 years. It's a starting point, not a guarantee.
Early contributions compound the longest, so they contribute far more to the final total than later ones. Delaying even a few years can sharply reduce the nest egg.
